Swindon Chairman Andrew Fitton has done the decent thing following the club's relegation and has fallen on his sword.
Fitton will remain with the club, but Jeremy Wray will take on the role of Chairman until a full time appointment is made. Fitton said:
"When I became chairman of the club in 2008, I laid down the objective of Championship football at The County Ground within three to five years, however, after the 'highs' of last season's Play-Off Final appearance we have now experienced the 'lows' of relegation and I feel a weight of responsibility for our under performance this season.
I am hugely disappointed with our relegation to League 2. I feel that the time is therefore right for me to step away from my role as chairman, to draw a line under the frustrations of this season and to recharge my own batteries."
Wray added: "As a board, we have a number of important decisions to make over the coming weeks and I am pleased that I shall be able draw on Andrew's experience as we prepare for next season."
